Star Empire

"It's a question worth thinking about forever, but there are still issues to deal with now."

Sunshine, which began to become more and more "ubiquitous", eventually joined the battlefield.

The order field that violently collapsed and evaporated violently shrank, causing the space structure it originally created to lose most of its carrying capacity, and many "star clusters" fell into the void. Although this caused losses that could not be ignored, compared to the huge overall structure, the losses to those "outer parts" were indeed not serious.

They paused briefly, and they quickly reorganized their formation. They quickly modified the outermost information representation and their own rank, and then rejoined the grand bombing operation.

The once nine-layer sky was almost completely blown away by the power from the Lieyang Celestial Pole Axis, and the Celestial Pole, which contained countless mapping connections, gradually disappeared with the exhaustion of Lieyang's core soul. Under the bloody sky, the light pillar that was once different from all these disappeared, but the nine-layer sky itself had also lost all its own stability and the basis for maintaining them in the outside world.

They collapse, they disappear.

As long as the sun's rays undergo uncomplicated assignment corrections and transformations, they can turn into balls of flames with different functions and properties. Countless flames were splashed on the black ground by Vesrifan, causing a splash. Blossoms of water mixed with black debris.

In the sky above this continent, there are many beings who are wantonly destroying the continent itself and all creations on the continent.

In Weisrifan's field of vision, the pair of huge black wings with a special shape had become blurry.

Below them, countless hemispherical white light groups are extremely bright. They are huge white matter explosions. Those huge black spheres called "full-scale white matter carrier bombs" are continuously pushed into the battlefield by the void matrix. .

They are huge but precisely controllable. They penetrate into the cracks of every facility and fly over every ley line that is still active. Blazing white light bloomed endlessly on the earth, as if there were countless giant suns rising in the sky.

The black wings spreading death flew across the dark red sky, throwing down countless suns, which melted the edges and luster of the earth.

However, this can penetrate all dimensions, as if to ignite the sun cluster at the end of the void, but it seems to be only a weak candle compared to the boiling white gold river.

The Arcane Throne flew slowly, and on its hull, the six-sided pattern and the huge imperial emblem shone with bright purple light. At its bow, an area that should have been void was compressed and occupied, and a solid purple light group expanded and contracted as if breathing. The ship flew slowly, but the purple light that seemed to be alive was more eye-catching than the ship's hull and the floating information source of any other ship.

It continuously releases destructive jets one after another. The jets condensed by ultra-high-frequency arcana that have trembled so much that they are about to turn into darkness that can swallow everything eat away at the self-consistent laws that have become fragile after countless conflicts. Armor, they cut wounds that reached to the bone marrow, tearing open rifts that reached to the core.

When there are enough wreckage, when the ruins are extensive enough, when broken materials pile up everything in sight, they will be reflected in the mirror, inside and outside the mirror, the weight of the attributes of existence will be reversed, the reality inside the mirror will be shattered, and the mirror will be shattered. The external mirror will no longer exist.

From some angles, the long axis of the projection of the Arcane Throne is 340 million kilometers, and the facilities it faces can accommodate super galaxy clusters. Compared with those giant facilities, the Arcane Throne can no longer be described as small, but it has the ability to destroy those huge facilities.

"According to the empire's previous research, every moment of the world's veins overview seat and the world's branch zenith itself carries considerable symbolic meaning. Their own stability is connected to the stability of the entire world's branch structure. A large number of spatial reference system expansion modules and transformation modules will easily cause serious failure of the facility itself, and may even endanger the overall security of the entire world context and countless worlds with branches. Therefore."

A short paragraph emerged from Weisrifan's mind, explaining the strange situation. It seems that maybe the problem itself is too serious, or maybe it is adhering to the attitude of "safety" and "responsibility". Σ also made the creations that manage these huge world structures like this, and also did not give any attention to the issue of scale. compressible decomposition

Is there really no solution to this problem, or is its solution so complex and costly that it is almost unsolvable or no longer valuable to solve?

Within the ordered universe, the size of the structure is related to the rules of the world itself. The rules are limited and require covariation. This means that the ordinary world, at least... everything within the category of the recognized "ordinary world" cannot develop wantonly and infinitely. They can be brought down by themselves. But for a civilization that can transcend the void, shape the world at will, and even freely influence and self-write information rules to a considerable extent, the problem will not lie in the scope that can be restricted by the order part of the world.

The activity of the continent is declining. From the distant void, from around the order field, from within the order field, from the countless battleships and weapons on the continent, as well as some of the autonomous entities left behind, they are urging this feast of destruction and pushing them forward. Towards climax. Faced with this constantly flashing scene, the intertwining influences and realities, as well as some emotions and confusions that were constantly surging deep in his heart, Weisruifan's eyes became a little blurry.

Three seems to be a magical number - in quite a few worlds, the macroscopic three-dimensional structure fits the splendor inside the world to a great extent, and the three-rank vision and rank-direction rules that have been continuously improved through layers of improvements... they It still occupies the forefront of applications until now.

Now it seems... The world structure does not always provide absolutely unlimited convenience for development, but temporary constraints can also be exploited, and they can also draw strength from civilization.

The maximum internal information dissemination speed is limited, the existence of energy-level deserts, microscopic uncertainties and many other reasons may make it difficult for some civilizations to develop and break through quickly, but they also provide relatively stable and replicable logic and development paths, and can Maintain a stable environment for a long time.

At the same time, they act as constraints, thereby preventing the premature rapid proliferation of information. Their existence temporarily and limitedly cuts off the plane of reality that originally connected the entire universe from the perspective of information proliferation. From this point of view, they can also be considered as the basic beginning to ensure that the world of order can have a long-term stable operation... and after that, it is not unfeasible to expand to higher and further directions.

The world is complex, deep, and huge—it is far more than just a layer of starry sky.

Within the quadrant, outside the quadrant, within and outside the territory of every civilization, apart from those "similar worlds", there are also endless other worlds. They have different underlying foundations and order structures, and they are likely to give birth to development paths that are worthy of development. It is called a weird intelligent body, and it may even give birth to some kind of super-dimensional or even transcendent existence. All of this may not be absolute, and perhaps there is no absolute right or wrong.

Endless vastness, endless openness, endless lofty worlds, layers of stacked dimensions and directions, spreading time... they all exist objectively.

Order transforms the life that lives in it, and life will also transform the world of order and the environment in which it lives. This is a mutual process.

There are no absolutes in the void, and there is no right or wrong in the void. No matter how broad the understanding and the broad standards are, they may not be able to adapt to all orders and environments - there is no need for so-called absolute correctness, all that is needed is adaptation.

Did you know that the limited information transmission speed and independent current reality planes restrict the development of many possibilities, and also create a considerable gap in time and space?

Many starlights are constantly weakened. They span countless light-years and use a long time to cross one reality plane after another. They may be able to travel very far, and may be visible in the universe and at the end of the world. But their former source, their former master, perished long ago.

The lights that are seen are dead, they span space and time, but their source is dead.

Like a bygone civilization, the miracles they once created shine brightly, attracting the yearning of countless people who came after them, stimulating the growth of their curiosity, and guiding them to explore towards the glory of the past.

The creator of the endless glory has died, and the body of the deceased is gradually decaying and releasing pink light.

A civilization.

A piece of history.

Five (5) trillion years.

The dead light shines in the void and reality.

…

".?! You? We? The dead light?"

That extremely powerful continent is rapidly dissolving, and all the buildings on it, as well as itself, are being rapidly destroyed.

Occasionally, part of it will hold up some dim shields, but those shields are not strong, and it can even be suspected that those shields may just be emergency uses of certain equipment.

They were quickly destroyed by the starlight of the stars. When the continent's own functions were almost completely lost, and it may even have lost its active control over the order field and reference system, the initiative to observe it even returned to the side of the imperial fleet.

On the black earth, all the surging blood vessels had disappeared, and countless huge explosions continued to light up the inside and outside of the horizon. Endless artillery fire created a tidal wave of disturbances that indiscriminately dragged the stars up and down.

Countless suns rise from the horizon, and the force of countless variables tears apart the space, distorting the order and path here. The drastic distortion of the laws and the constant reversal of the rules are like the extreme heat and cold, constantly baking and freezing everything here, tearing apart the once stable reality.

More powerful firepower is being added, and the firepower from the empire is getting stronger and stronger. The void they cross is like a tangible lens, gathering countless worlds and all the wills they once had.

Weisrifan could see that the flow of information coming from the more distant void, constantly stirring up order and rules, had almost dried up. The end of these flows of information might mean that everything that happened here was also coming to an end.

"Look, look, look at this endless carnival! Look at these storms, look at these powerful firepower! Look at how powerful our anger and our power are! Their most proud capital, countless Brilliant creations, they are like crawling crawlers, evaporating under our firepower, and in the end, not even their residue will be left!”

"Hahaha! Then all the dead in the past will be able to rest in peace!"

"More! More! More bombs! The attacks need to be more spread out! The firepower needs to be more powerful! Iterate more base points, gather more firepower, and completely blow up this place and everything here. !!”

"You guys - don't go too far."

"What? Have you figured out the situation? We are all you, you are all us, we are all the same, there is no difference between you and us. I think you'd better think clearly, what does it mean to give such an order to yourself? Are you still Can you order yourself?!"

The originally dark, empty and endless ground began to have some weird undulations, and around it, the swirling black mist and the breath and pressure shrouding the sky and the earth seemed to have dissipated for the most part. More lights were visible, and those lights It seems that the types have become more and more unpredictable, but what filled the former leader's heart with endless weirdness and dissatisfaction was that the originally long, silent team suddenly came alive from that moment on.

Many of them are going crazy with themselves - they create all kinds of weird phenomena and entities they have never seen before, and then use these entities to carry out weird fights and confrontations; there are also some more physical "people" who tighten their grip The strange clothes were sitting in a small circle whispering to each other, exchanging topics and opinions that each other could not understand at all; many humanoid beings gathered around a ball of light and cheered, and they were so angry that they seemed to be displayed in the ball of light. Everything that can put an end to all dissatisfaction and pain.

Facing the scene presented by the light group, those weird shadows were eager to try. Many of them even seemed to have reached out to intervene in the light group. These foreign hands interfered with the normal operation of the images and began to further control them wantonly.

This place is like a palace of all demons that is having a carnival, but everything that makes up this place claims to be itself, a part of itself, and the whole of itself. No one can control anyone, they are just carnivaling.

He can't control it all, he can't understand it, he doesn't understand it and them, and he doesn't bother to understand it. He sat on the ground, ignoring all the noise around him, ignoring his shoulder straps and clothes that had been dragged on the ground. He sat there quietly, and he didn't know how long the crazy noise had been. There seemed to be no time here, and there seemed to be no time here. In no particular order, it was their arrival that caused all kinds of strange changes to occur here.

".You seem distressed?"

"Don't bother me."

"I am you, and you are also me. Can you refuse your own thoughts? Come on, at least I am not the same as them. I can tell you something useful and something you may be interested in." A familiar person The voice of words suddenly sounded from in front of him. He raised his head and saw an individual who should be the same as himself. Seeing his response, he also sat down and leaned next to him.

"Looking up at the sky, I'm surprised that the purple light around you has been attracting you for such a long time, but you didn't notice why you saw those clouds and whirlpools, and the possible lines and differences in the earth. "

"Huh?" Faced with this proposal that didn't seem to annoy his thoughts or figures, he couldn't help but feel a little curious when he was sitting on the ground. He raised his head slightly, and for the first time he noticed something strange in the sky: Originally He thought that there was always a sun hanging in the dark and boundless sky. The sun's disc was extremely broad, but it was pale and cold.

"When did it appear?" Victorville was a little curious. After all, he had never seen that huge scenery here, but it was so conspicuous and so huge. Why had he walked away for so long but never noticed it? Pass?

Just when he was wondering, a hand gently placed on his shoulder.

"Do you understand the concept of "Deus Ex Machina"?"

"I only know what I mean and that there are some corresponding information and fields in the ancient language."

"This concept comes from the earliest source of ancient star civilization as far as we know. A long time ago, people living on the planet would interpret their thoughts in their own way. However, the plot is not always can proceed smoothly. There will always be foreshadowing, or there will be weird breakthroughs to break the rigid endgame. Under such circumstances, there will often be unexpected, sudden, and far-fetched rescue characters, means, or events that will be arranged, and they will Introduced to provide relief from a tense plot or scene.”

"When the plot reaches a stalemate and the dilemma is difficult to solve, it is understandable that a god with powerful power suddenly appears to solve the problem and the story can be resolved. This kind of performance technique is to create unexpected reversals of reality through man-made possibilities or means."

Without waiting for "myself" to respond, I gave the answer directly.

"Judging from the meaning and field combination, this message may have existed, but it appeared in this way and this form... Its ancientness can be said to be surprising, then, that sun"

"Yes, that sun comes from outsiders' reaction to our current predicament, or it is created by them. They hope that we will accept it and give us the possibility of getting back on track at the right moment. That sun is , she is, you and I, and everything here, we are part of the beings that have been put on the stage to solve the dilemma.”

"It's just that the current plot has been interpreted to the corresponding key node - if you and I can survive the attack of the Quadrant Continent, it will be enough to prove that everything is strong enough. However, in order to ensure that our goal must be achieved, And for the more distant future, we must remember something and understand something, such as now."

"What dilemma? What node? What goal? What are you talking about?" Vidoville struggled to leave here, but the hand on his shoulder did not loosen.

"The dilemma outside, this dilemma has been more than 20 billion years since the outside world. If we want to consider the longer term, it may last for 60 billion years, or even reach hundreds of billions of years. This is just a small part of it. dilemmas, others, and more.”

"what are you talking about?"

"Have you ever thought about 'you' and 'me', where we come from, why we go through this, see this? Have you never wondered?"

"."

"The great civilizations of the past have fallen, but they do not want their efforts, the countless experiences and lessons they have accumulated, and the strength they have accumulated with unlimited time and energy to disappear. Some of them are still wise and rational. In the end, they deceived themselves, hiding and expelling the blazing sun and all combinations similar to the blazing sun, and they were finally sealed in the distant void."

"They themselves are symbols of the old civilization. They themselves are the anchors and weights that maintain stability and ensure the safety of the environment. They are also points, anchors, and the center of the storm. The tangible and intangible influence of these creations spans the void. They Intercepting the information that is constantly passing through the void to enrich themselves will also make the civilization around them stronger."

"My head hurts. What are you talking about? This is a bit familiar. I seem to have similar feelings but..."

"However, this is not a precise and controllable process, and it does not have a stable future. No one can be sure what will happen to those fringe civilizations if they survive after escaping the disaster caused by the chaotic sea sweeping the void. Something will happen no matter what. All of this is just one unknown quantity after another that cannot be calculated at all. In the end, they can only choose a way that has the fewest variables, the fewest conditions and stable environment requirements, and the least need for their own intervention. It is no longer possible to resolve these deployment possibilities.”

"The gods once mentioned reverse inheritance. It is cruel and ruthless, but it is simple and direct - especially effective when you have to abandon everything about yourself. When the pain reaches the bone marrow, when When memories are engraved into the soul and written into instincts, those who are inherited will be like the shadow of a previous civilization, and they can reversely imprint the power and glory of the past."

"This is the case with the star civilization. It is all very complicated and very long. It took a long time to realize these steps, and many worlds and lives were sacrificed. This series of things is too extensive, and it involves too many aspects. It It may not be said to be profound, but the completely contradictory interests between different lives can make them irreconcilable. We are not going to evaluate it, and you are not going to convince yourself to evaluate it - everything is relative and everything must be considered Reality and everything around reality.”

"Only those who are strong enough have the right to speak. If you are not strong enough, other possibilities may allow you to gain enough respect, but that respect does not need to be based on equality, camp level or awareness level. It doesn’t need to be established on the level of life, you may be remembered, explained and respected, but you may also be killed, and this may precede the moment you are respected.”

"What on earth are you talking about?!" Only then did Victorville notice that the countless figures that had spread across the wilderness and turned everything into a carnival temple had surrounded him without knowing it. Live, there are countless pairs of dull eyes on your body.

They don't just seem to be standing around themselves, they seem to be standing above and below themselves, standing in details that they can't see. The eyes come from the distant future, from the distant past, from all time, space and all feelings. They

"Powerful enough, so powerful that no one can kill you and us without paying a heavy price."

"Take responsibility and figure out how to live and survive."

"Radicality is the wrong attitude. Don't try to forcibly open up obscure and lonely roads. The words of gods who have accumulated enough experience from endless time are worth listening to."

"Don't abandon yourself, let alone your technology. No matter how many names and goals there are, always remember that the first goal of the existence of technology and the advancement of knowledge is to make your life more peaceful and beautiful - this word has a void What is true is also powerful.”

"These words should have been explained at an earlier time. Perhaps at that time, the prefabricated system was not as perfect as expected... You and I don't know how the interior of the two arks was presented to everyone. Information... Now, if you have such an opportunity, I hope you will cherish it..."

The first figure became illusory. It floated slowly into Vidoville's body, and became invisible and silent. He disappeared.

"Wait, you - stop -!!"

"We are all Woodsvedoville, we come from all the information elements that make you up, we come from all time and all possibilities, we come from your knowing, we come from your thinking, we come from your creation, we It’s all Woodsideville, we’re all, we’re all, we’re all.”

"Weights."

A figure fell down, but more and countless "Vidovilles" came closer, and they drowned the body that fell to the ground.

Countless figures stood over everything, merging into one.

"There are some things here that I didn't pay attention to. I can see it, and so can you. Now I can, and everyone can. Be careful."

"There are real gods in the void. Go find the gods, even if it takes a long enough time. Don't be immersed in peace and joy. Maybe you can't do this, but you must live. There are still things in the void here. ——”

The line of sight began to collapse, and the black fog that once shrouded the line of sight began to collapse and dissipate. Countless flashes of light and shadow that could contaminate reality and contaminate the spirit and perception disturbed the tranquility here.

The light from ancient stars is seen, just as the true meaning and secrets of ancient civilizations are finally revealed. But many billions of years ago, that star, that civilization died. It is the strong and silent determination from the dead, it is the light from the dead stars, it is the light that has died.

One civilization, one reincarnation.

A journey, a memory, a thought, a piece of history.

Five (5) five (5) five (5) trillion years.

A reality, a blank space where everything has become the past and there is no need to reverse it.

The grand and perfect pentagon has left an indelible mark here, the weird giant hand with five fingers is trying hard to squeeze into reality, and the pink pollution it brings is spread across many worlds.

The dead light shines among the stars.

…

"Remember...remember..."

A vague feeling, a blurred vision, countless explosions flickering around him, countless lights and shadows sweeping past him...

"...What is that?!" Weisrifan was suddenly startled. Her eyes looked towards the end of the ruins and towards the other side of the continent. On that side, the two giant ships that they had not thought about how to deal with showed unprecedented strong information fluctuations.

"Is that... soul reaction?!"

"This voice...Vesrifan? Lil?! What is this time? Time and place?"

"Now - how could -!"

"Woo--buzz~~"

The strange sound of energy gathering, the endless screams extruded from the death of countless souls, violently erupted from the depths of the continent, from the center of the continent.

The giant tower that collapsed, and the decisive battle flagship that was buried with the ruins, were not destroyed in the artillery fire just now - it may be due to other factors, or it may be that the boundary line that has deceived everyone with the facts has come into play again. They have a powerful effect... they rise from the ruins, they reopen the starry sky.

The mutual gaze from the visible and invisible was once again fully activated. Countless information base stable points continued to split and proliferate along the chain-like giant trees. They quickly formed a strange dome that could tear apart the boundaries of order and the original sky. .

The huge whirlpool sky once again enveloped the empire's huge legion group with a terrifying numerical advantage. It slowly rotated, distorting all known realities.

At the same time, countless projections began to converge and merge. They were endlessly nested on the current baseline, forming a giant cone that penetrated the remaining traces of the Nine Heavens. Their appearance made up for all past omissions and all future oversights for the decisive battle flagship team.

"What?!"

The two conscious screams were swallowed by the whirlpool, and endless terror fell and rose from all the sky and the earth, pressing down on the focus of the whirlpool.

In surprise, a ridiculous idea suddenly flashed through their minds - it was as if, only this time, the continent in front of them was truly sparing no effort to do something...

The star that had gone through a dying struggle and should have been completely extinguished was relit at some point, and in such a short period of time, it became so bright and weird, even the blazing sun in the void, in that A moment later, it turned into a small pale spot in the weird endless sky...

Reality... Where is the reality... Benchmark - Where is the benchmark? ! Everything is spinning out of control, the device that stabilizes reality is melting...wait...how is the sun pink...? ! !

After a moment of hesitation, the blood-like rays of light converged and formed into spreading hexagonal patterns. They swallowed up the entire decisive battle flagship team and destroyed most of the valuable content before they were completely destroyed. All merged into the weird pink sun, they seemed to directly ignore the possibility of the fault zone, and even directly ignored or even swallowed... the fault zone itself? !

"Woo--buzz~~"

The pink sun quickly turned into a cone shape, and then, a light that seemed to be very "smooth" shot out. It crushed all obstacles on the road and pointed directly at the Void Blazing Sun.

"No...don't...it shouldn't be like this..."

Memories of the past emerged in Vidoville's confused mind, which was his last grief and most helpless moment - the heavy rain from the sky tore apart the protective layer of the scorching sun and tore countless people into pieces. Imperial battleships and lives, that torrential rain of destruction tore apart the history and all memories of the Empire, and it also tore apart the ancient partner of Vesrifan... No one could stop this light, and it was the same then, Same now...

"...How could it be?!" Faced with this scene, Weisrifan herself fell into confusion for a moment. She subconsciously wanted to summon the structures around the blazing sun for defense, but she noticed that her movements and thinking seemed to It turned into a sticky slow motion, and so did all the surrounding prominences and coronas. They climbed up little by little in slow motion, forming fragile and immature defensive precursors.

Everything around him was penetrated by tiny, dense and terrifying cracks, which seeped out from everywhere and continued to expand. The void has suddenly poured in. The order field was in vain, but the pink light ignored all the obstacles in it, gently squeezing away everything in its path without being restrained and unaffected, and rushed towards itself.

Between that light and himself, a pair of figures appeared - that was Victorville.

"Defense, defend...quickly..."

The pink light stained the unformed and dim white barrier and shattered it. It ignored the obstacles created by the command source and the boundary line that Vidoville desperately activated. Everything is so fast, so false...

Pink light flows through the hull, and the pink light cuts through the smooth black armor, shattering everything that blocks its path.

This blockage was so short that even if everything was in slow motion in Weisrifan's eyes, the blockade was broken almost instantly.

The new light source suddenly lit up, swallowing up his own perception, making his eyes useless - first, the gold representing crystal energy and white matter, and the purple representing arcana swallowed up all the vision, and then... everything began to change. pink.

The last thing that can be seen is the dazzling light, and before this light swallows everything, the Arcane Throne and the Void Matrix are blown into at least two pieces...

"No--"

…

The ancient stars extinguished, throwing away their former bodies and blood, and they threw countless fragments and dust into the distant depths of time and space.

The bright light shines in the night sky, and countless beings crawling on the earth are attracted by the starlight. The power of curiosity attracts them, making them try to cast their sights into the distant depths of space, attracting them to rebuild the glory once cast by stardust.

The stars scatter light, heat and mystery, and the stars scatter the foundation of life. After the stars pass away, the light from the dead stars spans distant time and space and shines in the eyes of life.

New life thrives, old life passes away, and their last strength promotes the growth and maturity of new communities.

"Life... comes from the stars... from stardust..."

"At this point, maybe it's enough to think..."

"The inheritance has been given."

"finally……"

Like always, like countless times in the past, the low murmur from an unknown source quietly dissipated in the chaos.

However, things were not over yet after the last barrage of the Quadrant Continent was finally fired.

A long time ago, the scratches that existed in the supreme sky turned into an invisible enemy. As the enemy gradually squeezed into order, it began to gradually acquire a five-spoke symmetrical structure and grow five long and huge fingers. At the same time, the fragments it dropped also fell from the chaos beyond the ninth level of the sky, contaminating and distorting everything in a subtle way.

These fragments are not abandoned - they are still connected to their parent body. When the decisive battle flagship team and the Quadrant Continent launched the last attack that could be called the swan song in a way that almost sacrificed themselves, all the pink light that penetrated it was also severely beaten from the giant memetic body full of malice. Pull off.

…

A civilization, a glory, a reincarnation, a rise and a fall.

Three and three hundred and thirty-three. Three things are born, and all things eventually perish.

A journey, a memory, a thought, a piece of history.

Five (5) five (5) five (5) five (5) five (5) trillion years.

A reality, a node that has been reached, a goal that has lost its meaning, a blank necessity that has become the past and no longer needs to be reversed.

The dead light shines in the void.
